Uncle Davey spotted this juvenile painted turtle swimming near the lake shore, scramble up and into the water and snatched it for all to see.

What a creative Creator our God is. Awesome!

Hannes got the upper hand with the water gun putting Thaddeus on the run

This cool dude turned "3" and knew it!

My brother's infamous and highly functional outhouse.My brother is famous for saying, people (American's) have it all wrong...Today's modern man "Sh*ts in and Eats Out, where as he and family prefer to eat in and sh*t out"Sorry for the language, but sometimes that word is appropriate in my book.

Davey's pastoral view of his chicken yard

It's my birthday and I am "3"

Turning three takes a conscious effort to juxtapose that 1st and 5th digit!

Siblings captivated by flying bubbles and or the opening of a birthday snack, not sure which. :o)

The look of success and achievement

A highlight of any summer trip to my brother's place in The Yaak is the outdoor shower

The boys too were fascinated.Johannes' asked, how is water coming from this tree? I answered, your Uncle Davey is amazing, enough said....
